IRAQI RESISTANCE

Asia Times: Anti-US resistance spreads through Iraq
SULAIMANIYA, northern Iraq - As attacks against US targets in central Iraq increase, many factors in the north and south are combining to add to the woes of the US occupiers, the US-appointed administration, and their supporters.

Intelligence sources in the northern city of Sulaimaniya say that those resisting the US presence are on a steep learning curve and that their attacks will become more organized and ruthless.

According to the local sources, a terror network in northern cities, including Kirkuk and Mosul, is set to begin operations against US troops and those Iraqis who support them. News of the northern network emerged during meetings earlier this week between local intelligence officials of Iraqi Kurdistan and US intelligence.
